After that I got everything I wanted.

I agree with you that a major goal is to prepare my children to live lives apart from mine, and to flourish on their own as productive, capable human beings. I hope I'm doing that! I plan to ship them off to college and missions, and LIFE, and I do not plan to have them live with me forever. It's just that a part of my heart is not anxious for the day when they live apart from me, because it will mean their sweet childhoods are over, and that part of my life will be complete. Mothering will move to a new and different level. <BR/><BR/>I just love my kids, and I'm not anxious for them to be gone, is all. But, once they are, I know I will beam with pride at the lives they create for themselves. <BR/><BR/>It's a strange kind of painful. Maybe unique to mothers.Jennahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16015165553390298826noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1972912984919271871.post-1892766669525044622009-01-17T20:50:00.000-08:002009-01-17T20:50:00.000-08:00Well, I can relate to some of what you are feeling...Well, I can relate to some of what you are feeling and going through. But, I've always thought a major purpose of parenthood is to help your children grow-up and move out to live their own lives and have their own family. I love my children but get them out-of-the nest is my goal and let me read their blog. What you are describing sounds painful.

Of course mine is for different reasons that I am sure you know. I can only imagine how hard it would be to see your daughter growing up and knowing that day is coming. I can only imagine how my own mother felt knowing she will miss out on that.
